Why does the RHS need legacies?
The RHS is a registered charity (222879/SCO38262). For more than 200 years the RHS has set the standard for all issues relating to horticulture, gardens and gardening. From the time Sir Joseph Banks, John Wedgwood and the five other founders created the Society, our aim has been to be the leading authority in our field and expand our work and influence throughout the world. The RHS receives no support from the government and relies solely on the generosity of our members and self-generated income. Many of the society’s plans for the future can only be realised through additional funding, including legacies.
